I still stand by that the rise of social media is to blame for the increased pressure and self esteem issues in teenage girls and young adult women. Young people are on their phones constantly, checking their facebook/twitter/Instagram accounts. It's insane. I heard a podcats a few months ago where the host interviewed a girl who was a senior in high school and she talks about the influences of social media. I'll post it here when I get around to looking for it.
Yup, Hollywood has been undermining the "culture" we have here for years. Just look at all the hype with the Lardassian family. How is that in any way something anyone needs to see? I get enough of it in the line at the checkout; don't need to see it on the TV, of which I watch maybe an hour a month. What a wasteland. But impressionable young people take that tripe to heart.
Before someone posts it...
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
